What about the name?

The name Derw, meaning Oak in Welsh was born due to the mighty Oaks many symbolic meanings and metaphors many of which reflect and sit comfortably with the therapeutic relationship and process.

It’s a symbol of strength, morale, resistance and knowledge. Throughout history, the Oak has been represented in different mythologies and sometimes linked to powerful gods (in Greek mythology it was a symbol of Zeus, the God of Thunder).

It grows slowly, but surely at its own rate. Oak is often associated with honor, nobility, and wisdom as well thanks to its size and longetivity. Oaks are known to easily surpass 300 years of age making it a powerful life-affirming symbol.

The Oak’s roots mirror its branches and stretch as far below ground as the branches do above. Reflecting our unconscious and our roots, the narratives that make us who we are.

“The Oak is a reminder, that great things come from small beginnings”.
